Proof of Life

In the lonely light of the mornings
That's when you miss her most of all
You feel fear, pulsing hot and cold, in your veins
Building up inside you, as you realize, recognize
The risk you never took, the opportunity you left behind
And, strangly, you feel alive
You feel alive, because you feel pain
The pain is your proof of life...
Bleeding inside, bleeding useen
You fall down, down to your knees
There are too many emotions inside of you
Too much that you can't get out, can't release
There are too many words left unsaid
And you hide inside yourself too damn much
So that, this morning, when you looked in the mirror
You saw a ghost...a ghost that turned out to be you
Then you realized,that you can't live like this, anymore...
You're frustrated...this is so complicated
For once in your life, you're unsure of yourself
And you don't know what to do, which choice to chose
So, you sit, smoking on your porch
The outcome still unseen, and the desicion still unmade...
